2014 Hanse 385

EFFORTLESS — 2014 Hanse 385 | Honolulu, Hawaii

A 37-footer that sails like a much bigger boat and single-hands like a much smaller one. Effortless is a two-cabin 2014 Hanse 385 lying in Honolulu, set up so one person can leave the slip, work the channel, and come home without ever leaving the wheel.

Why she's easy to sail

• Self-tacking jib — tack with one hand on the wheel, no sheet to grind
• Twin electric winches at the helm — sheets and halyards handled from where you steer
• Twin wheels with a clear, open cockpit between them

The Hanse formula shows here. A self-tacking headsail and powered winches turn what is normally a two-person job into a single motion, which is what makes a boat like this get used on a Tuesday afternoon rather than only on weekends with crew.

On deck

• Folding cockpit tables
• Electric anchor windlass with approximately 50 m of chain
• B&G chartplotter at the helm with AIS receiver
• Beam carried well aft — a genuinely wide, usable cockpit

Power and systems

• Volvo Penta diesel, 500 hours — owner reports no known issues
• 200W solar
• AGM house batteries replaced within the last two years
• Upgraded Xantrex battery monitor
• Stereo in like-new condition

Between the solar and the house bank, she holds her own at anchor.

Below decks

• 2 cabins, 1 head — a private forward cabin and an aft double
• Warm joinery throughout, in good order
• Full galley with double stainless sink, gimbaled stove and refrigeration
• Nav station to port with the main electrical panel
• Fiberglass hull with balsa core

The saloon is the surprise on this model — the beam is carried far enough forward that the settee and table seat a real dinner party, and the overhead hatches and hull ports keep it bright rather than cave-like.

Sail inventory

• New Rolly Tasker mainsail
• Working jib (original, with new sunbrella)
• Gennaker with sock
• Storm jib
• Main sheet, jib sheet and main halyard all replaced in 2026

Recent work

• December 2025 haul-out — bottom paint, zincs, and Prop Speed

Effortless is ready for you to go sailing: hauled and painted within the year, a fresh main, a deep secondary inventory, and the systems a Hawaii owner actually needs. She is the rare 37-footer that's genuinely easier to sail than the 30-footer you're trading up from.
